Kira comes back into the kitchen with a tall black man and a medium height blonde hair women. There were four child with them, two who looked bi-rial and two who looked Caucasian.
"Erica, Boyd this is Derek Hale, Talia Hale's son and heir".
Derek shakes hands with them, "This is our son and daughter Naomi who's three and Robert who's two". Derek looks at the children as Erica tells him their names. The daughter looked just like her father and the son looks just like his mother.
"This is my daughter Lily and her twin Mark, they're four. Derek says hello to Kira and Scott's children.
"Stiles is outside in the pool along with my sisters and my sisters' mate. Derek takes them outside and introduces them to everyone. He could see Stiles was touch Scott named his daughter the English version of her real first name.
After a while more of Scott's pack turn up, Derek and the other Hales were introduced to everyone. Cora found her mate it was Scott's friend Issac, it turns out he was the person that was deaf in one ear. Growing up with an abusive father resulted in a shattered eardrum and the loss of hearing in one ear. When Issac became a werewolf the damage couldn't be undone.
Stiles talks to Issac quickly before he and Cora disappeared to her dad's place. She tells him about the job opening in her practice. Luckily for her because he was Cora's mate he was keen to be in New York with her. Even though Cora said she would move to Beacon Hills to be with him.
"You're a Hale your place is in New York, how will it look a Hale living in Beacon Hills when Scott is the Alpha. Some people may think your mother sent you here on purpose, don't rob me of my chance to live in New York woman".
Stiles left Isaac and Cora to themselves. Newly found werewolves mates needed to be together as much as possible. She walks back outside and sees everyone having fun, "Hey Stiles", shouts Erica.
"Wait why are you looking at me weird?"
"Just hearing you call me by my name feels weird".
"What else would I call you that's your name".
"So I take it your epilepsy is gone, I know we didn't really talk much in high school".
"How could we, we were the local punching bag for the school. Although things did get easier after you sent that email to everyone. That was a ballsy think you did, no matter how they treated you. You never let them see you cower. Hell you went to New York and became a doctor. Most of those people who teased you and me in high school have left this town, I gather from their families not all of them are doing as good as you and me".
"What do you do for a living Erica?"
"I'm an elementary school teacher, I needed to make sure other Erica's out there didn't get a shit start to life like I did. Some of our bullies are still here".
She smiles, "When Scott was figuring things out when he was still a new Alpha there were a lot of Alphas coming through. Some friendly some not so friendly and a lot of people got bitten. One of them was Julie Hart she made my life a misery growing up. Now as I'm head beta of the McCall pack she has to follow my every command. She apologised of course she said she didn't mean to make my life hell.
When her daughter was coming home crying because of bullies. What she did to me and the effect of it finally sunk in. We had a really good chat she even apologised to me in front of the pack. Life is too short to hold grudges but every now and then. Sometimes unconsciously I find myself back at that place being bullied with all the memories that comes with it".
"I know the feeling", says Stiles sadly.
Erica nudges her, "So Derek Hale, wow trust you to land a billionaire".
They laugh, "I'm going to get something to eat", Stiles leaves Lydia and make her way over to Derek, Jordan and Laura who were eating. "Sit I'll fix you a plate".
"Lots of potato salad please mama McCall made it and it's the best".
"Your dad raves about that damn salad a lot, I'm like it's potato salad but I swear it's like the best thing I've ever eaten". Stiles swipe a chicken thigh off Laura's plate while she was busy talking.
"So Jordan, you're a big city guy what do you think of what you've seen of Beacon Hills so far?" Ask Stiles
"The people really are friendly, well the ones I've met so far".
"There's good and bad everywhere you go, I'll take you guys to the diner tomorrow after the tour of the town".
Derek comes back with Stiles food she greedily tuck into it then ask for more. After another plate of food Stiles was tired and ready to go. She let Scott and Kira know they were leaving then they say their goodbyes to everyone and pile in her dad's Range Rover. Stiles invited Scott, his mother and his family to dinner at her father's house later in the week.
When the Hales arrive home they see a Ford Fiesta in the drive, everyone assumes it was Issac's. Stiles and Derek head for their bedroom where Stiles put their air conditioning on full blast, to cool the room down while she has a cold shower.
Stiles realises she didn't ward the house, then stops panicking because she knew her dad would have made sure it was warded up like Fort Knox.
The next day Issac took Cora to show her his apartment and the town which left Stiles with Derek, his sister and Jordan to do the tour with her. She showed them where she went to school, worked as a teenager and played with Scott. When the tour was over she drove up to Pop's Diner, "The curly fries here are legendary", they walk in and are shown to a booth.
"I'm happy Cora found her mate she deserves her happy ever after".
"You're a good sister Laura do you realise all the Hale children are now in official relationships", says Stiles.
A waitress comes over, "What can I get you guys?"
Stiles recognised the voice and look up from her menu, it was one of her bullies. "Hey Frankie you work here? Stupid question of course you do I'll have a burger and curly fries. Baby what are you having?"
Derek looks at the plump, bottle dye blonde, "I'll have the same as my wife".
"Make that three orders of burgers and fries, say Jordan.
"I'll have the stake and bake potatoes and can I get an extra plate of broccoli separately please", says Laura. I'm going to have a lemonade with that. Stiles you didn't order any drinks".
"I'll have a smoothie do you want the same Derek?" Frankie's eyes go wide.
"You're Derek Hale I knew you looked familiar I just couldn't place you".
Derek ignores her, "Jordan what drink do you want?"
"Sprite please ".
When Frankie left Laura turns to Stiles, "Spill she smelted of embarrassment and regret".
"She was one of my bullies she learned ASL just to tell me what the others were saying to me. She was miss popular and a cheerleader".
"She doesn't seem to have left this town talk about stereotypes, shes a walking cliché".
When Frankie returns with their drink order Stiles ask her what she's been up to since high school. "I went to Yale for three years to study medicine but then dad lost his job, mum got sick and he left her. I left my course and moved in with mum so I can take care of her. I've been working here since I moved back home. Well here and the supermarket in the evenings. Look Stiles I owe you an apology for the way I behaved towards you in high school. I was wrong I'm not even going to try to excuse my behaviour".
"Thank you for the apology".
"When I came back here I wrote you a letter that I never had the courage to give to your father to give you. Is it okay if I post it under you front door later?"
"That's fine".
Frankie leaves, "That was nice of her".
"Yeah Laura it was", when the food came they savour every moth full. "Why does the food in this town taste so good", says Jordan.
"I know it's like everything's you taste is like the best version of it you've ever had", agrees Laura.
"When we finish eating there's a new supermarket I want to go to. We need to shop for dinner for tonight, what do you guys feel like having anyway?" Ask Stiles.
"What about steaks with salad and maybe a homemade pie. You make a great apple pie Stiles".
"Steaks and salad it is then, nice try Laura but if I'm making pie. You're making something as well for dessert".
Fine I'll make homemade ice cream".
When the reach the supermarket they decide who would get what on the list and split up. Laura and Jordan would get stuff for the salad while Stiles and Derek would get the steaks and bread rolls. Stiles and Derek pass by the baby aisle they stop and decide to take a look at some items.
Stiles had a weird feeling that she was being watched. She look at the other shoppers they were busy minding their own business. She and Derek choose some clothes for the baby then add it to the trolley.
The finish up and Stiles mention the feeling of being watched in the car to everyone. " You have good instincts Stiles we just have to be careful and watch our backs".
